Typically, I am very busy. My life is filled past the brim with deeply important things to fill every moment of my days. I am so busy, in fact, that if an entire day stretches before me, requiring nothing of me, I will make up errands to run. I will suddenly decide that it is absolutely imperative that I read the entire encyclopedia, run ten miles, get a massage to pamper myself, eat a granola bar and stand on my head for at least five minutes while chanting "Om Shanti." If I fail to complete any of these tasks, I will berate myself incessantly.
Then it occurs to me, "Wait, I didn't have to do ANY of that stuff!"
Ah. The things we do to avoid just sitting with ourselves.
